Is there any way to "short" bitcoin? I don't really trust any of the fly-by-night cryptocurrency exchanges, but is there a real derivatives market somewhere?

  See if someone will loan you Bitcoin, paid back in Bitcoin. Then you sell the Bitcoin, wait for the price to go down, and buy some to pay back the loan.

      My bad, you can go margin but not short. Kraken can short though.
